of an already fine hike. Leave Dixie System at 8 A. M. and drive to New Found Gap. Take candle-lantern, canteen and food for one meal. Round trip hiking distance 6.8 miles. Trail smooth and relatively easy. Elevation about 6200 feet. Leaders: GEORGE HACKMAN (5-8189) MARGUERITE PRESTON (2-8846) // May 1st BRUSHY MOUNTAIN FROM GREENBRIER To many of us May is the loveliest month in the Smokies, with the wild flowers in bloom, the new green or the forests, and the balmy air—a delightful time for hiking, so on May Day we climb the picturesque "Brcshy" Mountain (4911 feet). Our route takes us thru Sevierville and along the beautiful East Prong of the Little Pigeon River to Pittman Center. Here is located a community school, sponsored by the Methodist Church, where weaving, basketry and other mountain industries are taught. This point is also the end of our rock road, and we go about 8 miles over a mountain road thru Greenbrier Cove to MesserY Cabin (2230 ft.) where the trail up Brushy begins. Messer's Cabin is very well built with huge beams, tight floors and walls—an excellent camping site, on the end of a cleared Spur. Take a look here at pinnacle Mountain and Saw Tooth Range before going up the steep side of Brushy. The trail is open most of the way and there are splendid views all along. The top of the mountain is now covered with laurel, huckleberries, and small shrubs, tho it was once well timbered with big trees, but has been cut over and burned. The humus was so thick here that the glow of the fire could be seen by the mountaineers for many days. When we top out we can sec all three peaks of LeConte to the south east. To the north west is Round Top (4316 ft.), originally 26
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

In 1926, the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club began to print an annual handbook that outlined scheduled hikes for each month of the year, including winter. This 1932 handbook was collected by George Masa (1881-1933), a photographer active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor regularly-scheduled hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains.
